Story behind the song
I wish that parts of this song were true, and there are other parts I wish weren't. It's about my life with my wife, written as an anniversary present.
Lyrics
Here's a picture of you May '92, wearing that dress Tight woolen and blue, what could I do but try to impress. But you were unaware - didn't know that I was there. I heard you humming a tune, 'A Case of You' and I had a plan. I bought a copy of 'Blue' and asked if you knew any Joni fans. You said she made you cry, and asked me whether I knew 'In France They Kiss On Main St' I took it all wrong I didn't know the song, said I'd never been. You thought I'd made a joke, and gave me a poke and it suddenly seemed That in your fingertips the hope of love exists. Do I have to spell it out? I.S.T.I.L.L.L.O.V.E.Y.O.U. Here's your brother and me summer '03 camping on Skye. We're hiding under a tree shamelessly trying to keep dry. And we're the best of friends - he's trying to make amends. He used to hang out with thugs, he took loads of drugs and lived on the street. He took your parents for mugs and then sold the rug from under their feet. And on the day we met, as soon as you had left, he turned to me and said, 'WTFYLAC'? I stood taking this in and pulling my chin from of the floor. I heard the telelphone ring and he starts to grin as he makes a score. And through the worst of times you helped me realise That through everything I'll always wear your ring Do I have to spell it out?
